Five times a day in the 83 square mile city of Cairo, over 30,000
muezzins call out the adhan, or call to prayer, calling believers to
come and to pray. This Fajr (dawn) adhan was recorded on Falaky
Street in the neighbourhood of Sayeda Zeinab, two blocks from the
Saad Zaghloul metra stop. The recording captures the voices of the
muezzins of Cairo, all of whose calls begin a few seconds apart from
one another. The muezzins calling from far away mosques and
mosques closest to location can be heard: please control the volume
accordingly.Audio recordings from 10 locations in Cairo representing the city-wide call to prayer (over 30,000 muezzins reciting each of the 5 times per day) as heard from each area/neighbourhood, with supporting photographs of the locations and what is seen from said location.Hartley Film Foundation, National Geographic All Roads Film Project, Lucius and Eva Eastman Fun
